Houston Police Department homicide investigators were at the scene of a car wreck in southwest Houston early this morning where a man was found shot in the driver's side seat of a crashed Bentley.

At least two bullet holes could be seen in the driver's side door. The front wheels of the vehicle were down in a ditch.

The car was found near near Richmond and Fountainview at 6200 Beverly Hill, said HPD spokesman John Cannon.

Two shooters and two guns are believed to have been used in the shooting, according to Sgt. Richard Rodriguez with the HPD homicide unit. He said It appears to be an ambush.

A total of nine shots were fired into the vehicle, according to Rodriguez, with the victim being shot in the torso.

The victim, 40, was apparently opening up a strip club nearby with a business partner from Chicago, according to Rodriguez.

When officers arrived, it appeared that smoke was coming from the vehicle but the victim's foot was pressing against the gas pedal, causing the tires to smoke. Houston fire officials broke out the windows of the vehicle to shut off the engine.

The name of the driver has not been released.

The Bentley stopped just four doors down from where Theresa Edmonds lives at the Beverly Hill condos. She said she was woken up by her dog barking and she smelled smoke at around 4 a.m.

She heard noises and looked outside to see the vehicle in the ditch.

"I heard a couple of pops and never thought it would be gunshots," said Edmonds.
